It's funny ... We ended

It's funny ...

We ended class with the quote on how CBT could be used to invalidate people's thought processes ... In the NYTimes today there is an article on how the internet has made room for online communities where people can share stories of governmental stalking/mind-reading (Sharing Their Demons on the Web) and it has doctors discussing the merits and problems with this ... The importance of social support, and the forging of relationships (it mentions how the group component of CBT can be important), while also encouraging these faulty cognitions. 

At this moment, CBT seems like a rather unnuanced cruel form of treatment. One of those things you know works, but can't quite get your mind around.
